’O sole mio is a globally known Neapolitan song written in 1898. Its lyrics were written by Giovanni Capurro and the music was composed by Eduardo di Capua while he was admiring a magnificent sunrise in Odessa (Ucraina). ’O sole mio is the Neapolitan equivalent of standard Italian "Il mio sole" and translates literally as "my sunshine".
